Sparkler alternatives for night time send off?

I love the romantic appeal of sparklers for a night time send off. However, my venue may not allow us to use sparklers...the jury is still out. So... does anyone have any suggestions for other fun night time send off ideas? Bonus points if you can think of something that would have sparkler like results but will be less flammable.

I've been wondering this also bc I originally wanted to do them but my friend did sparklers at her wedding and someone popped her Hubby in the head with one! Not cool! I'm thinking that although they look beautiful; alcohol & fire don't mix!

Does anyone know what the tentacle looking lights they pass out at state fairs are called? They have a small cheap flashlight type handle and then strings about the consistency of fishing wire that light up coming out of the top...thought these might give a sparkler like effect but I don't know what they are called or where to find them.

I did ribbon wands. Although, two weeks before the wedding I didn't want to do them...they somehow showed up at the wedding ( Thanks MOM!) I told everyone I didn't want an exit, but some one passed them out and that was that. I like how it turned out. My SIL loved it so much that she would not stop playing with it. In fact my mother shipped the extras to her.,

Bubbles look really nice with a flash. I had a grand idea of releasing balloons with "throwie" lights in them (small LEDs), but decided against it due to the environmental impact and the logistics hassle.

Sparklers are pretty, but I've seen too many close calls with them. Especially when the couple buys the version that is too short.
